A Nook Miles Ticket Rant

[JKDOS]

Yeah sorry. If I bought the game and I have some left over money to buy in game currency then I will buy some because guess what? It's my game that I bought with my hard earned money and if I wanna use my hard-earned money for more in game stuff then I will and I will feel no shame about it

The excuse "I bought the game and I'll do what I want with it" is really old and as much as it may sound true, it isn't always the case. It's like saying "I paid for my car, I'll drive as fast as I want". Unfortunately Nintendo has the right to say how we should play our games or use our Switch, which is why they reserve the right to patch exploits and ban exploiters and hackers.

forum bells won't stop anything, people with duped bells will just sell IGB for forum currency. Soon you'll see a ton of threads like this:

[LF]Forum Bells [FT] IGB or NMT!!

Unless mods stop the trading of forum bells with IGB, the situation will stay the same.

That is unfortunately true, but at least everyone has fair gain at btb by making posts and joining the forums. I just want to be able to enjoy the community again without all this arguing and such. Not fun seeing all the people get mad at each other because some decide to ruin the experience for others.

Day by day I see more and more people asking for NMT entrance fee for visiting a town on Airport forum and all I can do is shook my head at their greed especially since some of the posters have joined free events themselves of open towns and what not.

I mean, I don't think asking for a single NMT for access to your island is greedy at all. If you're opening your island for others to sell Turnips or catalog items, you're under no obligation to do it for free. Tipping is considered standard, isn't it, when somebody is letting you visit their island and you're taking up their playing time? A single NMT is relatively inexpensive for people, especially as an alternative for bells.

Charging hundreds or thousands of NMT for villagers? No thanks. But a few NMT to access an island doesn't seem outlandish.

Most requests at airport are for visiting islands in order to shop or get DIY cards. What's the difference between airport and nook cranny if both ask for entrance fees?

i know right, i wish there was a separate section for non entrance fees - just good ol' nice people helping out other people, I feel like i've been getting click baited everytime i check a thread and then see "entrance fee of 1nmt"

I would love there to be a forum for giveaways and free entrance too!

i've been trying to think of how to respond to the OP for days. i honestly don't know where i stand loool
just gonna leave my thoughts here :

paying 600+ tickets for a villager is nuts;; & nmt's are extremely helpful for me (personally because i want to island hop to find all my villagers), but i also understand how they can be seen as a huge problem for others.
with that being said, it's probably gonna be crazy for a while :L

Its a literal life simulation game about talking to cute animals and making your home look pretty. It's not a competitive game at all. Still not gonna stop me from buying NMT's to get what I want for MY ISLAND so if you honestly get mad about that and truly care then that's kinda sad homie. If I see one of my dreamies up for auction best believe I'm getting that villager. Sorry not sorry

Hey, you do you. If you want to participate in and enable real-world-trading/selling, it's not my job to stop you.. Though I fail to see how it being or not being a competitive game makes a difference when a player-economy is involved.

Unapologetic narcissist says narcissistic things.

But at the end of the day you have to ask yourself: Why did you buy the game in the first place if all you intended to do was circumvent playing the game? You could have kept playing NL if all you wanted was to immediately have everything again.

And realize you trading those large wads of NMTs is harming other players via massive inflation. But I don't expect you to be introspective enough to actually take that to heart.

I'm sure it'll flatten out once everybody gets what they want. I noticed that the New Leaf trading board prices were way different than they were a year later.

 

[SaltedKaramel]

This has been said several times already but I'll say it again. TBT is still a very valued currency. It's just because the site is going through major changes that it's currently unusable. (What a terrible time too sigh...) During that brief period of time last week when the bell, feedback and other systems were lifted, I was able to do so many trades for hybrids, furiture etc... because traders started to accept them.

And given the duping exploit and easier turnip market, IGB aren't wanted by many people for the most part hence why they turn to NMT. Just wait for TBT to return and I'm sure the economy will settle a bit.

I also gotta mention, the amiibo cards got sniped up quickly and were hard to find when they released. So by that logic, most fans should have a lot of cards? So why aren't they using them? Is it because of the glitch, everybody is taking an alternative route and island hopping to get their dreamies?

 

[Hsn97]

I don’t know how people find so many. I literally do all the Nook + rubbish daily and I can usually only just about get 2000 - 3000 miles. I don’t trade or buy things off other people but it’s annoying getting enough miles to buy a ticket and diy recipes each day -.-

Most people island hopping for villagers are usually doing it because they want one of the new ones like Raymond or Audie since their amiibos have yet to be released unfortunately. Ofc there are some people trying to get older villagers but I believe the majority are doing it for the new villagers. I'm trying to find Raymond myself but after hearing someone spending 700 tickets and failing I'm just going to wait for his amiibo at this point.

Why did I buy the game? Ummm same reason I'd buy any newer game in a series. Better graphics, new content. So yeah. I wanna buy whatever I want with my hard-earned money to get stuff to make MY ISLAND look nice to satisfy ONLY ME because that is my RIGHT! Doesn't make me a "narcissist" I just don't whine how other people play a life simulator about talking to virtual talking animals and house decorating! Get over yourself. It's not that deep. People aren't going to change how they play because it makes Snowflake McTriggerPants upset. Don't wanna deal with all that then don't play online. Simple

I actually only own two amiibos (Snake & Cherry and i can't even find them i'm so mad) and personally I'm island hopping because I love the rush i get from gacha games + I've found villagers I've never even known about and want to add them to my town <3

 

[Sanaki]

Which means TT'ers can find good turnip price every day/week and easily make hundreds to thousands of NMT.

Time travelling punishes your turnip prices harshly, if it's the same as old games I don't think you can get high prices that way.

 

[Corrie]

Hmmm well I guess opening a trading thread to give people dreamies cause I have all the cards (minus the new villagers of course) would be a bad idea due to glitches right?
